A documented history of abuse, dropped charges, and courtroom outbursts.

In the spring of 2020, seven-year-old Julissia Batties went for a court ordered weekend visit with her biological mother, 36-year-old, Navasia Jones.

She was supposed to return home to her paternal grandmother. But child services enacted a different plan.

Julissia was found months later, deceased in her mother's apartment. Initially, both Navasia Jones and Paul Fine Junior, who was Julissia's half-brother were charged in her murder. But charges pressed against one of the defendants were dropped.

A missing person's report, a strange story, and a rented tractor.

On February 2nd of 2022, 36-year-old Jessica Thompson walked into the Weakley County Sheriff’s Office to report her 38-year-old niece, Mandey Noe, missing.

From the very beginning, Jessica’s story seemed suspicious.

When deputies realized they already had her husband, 45-year-old, Christopher Thompson in custody on unrelated domestic violence charges, they pulled him out of his cell to talk.  

Jessica’s story about Mandey’s disappearance completely unraveled.

Two failed polygraphs, recovered evidence, and a four-decade long investigation.

As the investigation into the murder of 19-year-old Lisa Au continued, the “second suspect” garners suspicion.

Evidence is recovered that challenges the initial theory that Lisa was murdered by a police officer… or someone posing as one.

Was that recovered evidence an indication of a police coverup?

If you have any information about the murder of Lisa Au, please contact the Honolulu Police Department at (808) 723-3609.
